Pool & Disco, Sexy Formal Party.
Is it really possible to be sexy in formal
dress?
The judgement is yours!
Sunday August 28, the disco has been
converted into an exclusive dance club to host
Songwriter Jerry Leiber has died. He wrote together with Mike
Stoller hits as "Hound Dog" and "Jailhouse Rock" for Elvis
Presley.
Although there unpleasantly surprised, much
too quickly Sung Hound Dog by The King, the duo composed about two dozen songs
for Elvis. Jerry Leiber wrote Hound Dog in 1952 together with Mike Stoller for Big
Mama Thornton. It marked the first success for the song written by Leiber &
Stoller, that especially in the 1950s and early 1960s an important mark on pop
music.
They wrote hits including "Love
Me", "Loving You", "Don't", "Jailhouse Rock"
and "King Creole",
Leiber died of a cardiac arrest and was 78 years old
Also Nick Ashford is deceased; He lost yesterday at the age of 70
in the final battle with throat cancer. Like Leiber Ashford was best known as
half of a duo: together with his wife Valerie Simpson, he was responsible for
hits like "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "I'm Every
Woman" and "Reach Out and Touch". The former song was recorded
by, among others, Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross. "I'm Every Woman" was
sung by Chaka Khan and later by Whitney Houston.
Also under their own
names the duo had a world hit in 1984 with ' Solid ':
A smile is a facial expression formed by
flexing the muscles near both ends of the mouth.
The smile can also be found around the eyes. Among humans, it is an expression denoting
pleasure, joy, happiness, or amusement, but can also be an involuntary
expression of anxiety, in which case it is known as a grimace. Smiling is
something that is understood by everyone despite culture, race, or religion; it
is internationally known. Cross-cultural studies have shown that smiling is a
means of communicating emotions throughout the world. But there are large
differences between different cultures. A smile can also be spontaneous or
artificial.
Cultural differences
While most often, smiling is perceived as a
positive emotion, there are many countries that perceive smiling as a negative
expression and consider it unwelcoming. Too much smiling can be viewed as a
sign of shallowness or dishonesty. The Japanese may smile when they are
confused or angry. In other parts of Asia, people may smile when they are embarrassed. People in other
cultures may not smile at everyone to indicate a friendly greeting as people do
in the United States. A smile may be reserved for close friends and family members. Many
people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even
suspicious behavior. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public
places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that
Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't
smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover
emotional pain or embarrassment. Vietnamese people may tell the sad story of
how they had to leave their country but end the story with a smile.
But "Smile" is also a song based
on an instrumental theme used in the soundtrack for the 1936 Charlie Chaplin
movie Modern Times. Chaplin composed the music, while John Turner and Geoffrey
Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954. In the lyrics, the singer is
telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright tomorrow,
just as long as they smile. "Smile" has become a popular standard
since its original use in Chaplin's film.

Michael Jackson
recorded the song for his 1995 double album HIStory: Past, Present and Future,
Book I. It was planned to be released as the eighth and final single from the
album in 1997 but was canceled days before its release date. Only a few copies
from the Netherlands, Germany and South Africa (where the record distribution
was started previous to the withdrawal) were saved as the other copies were
withdrawn.
Jackson had never
performed this song live; an HBO special was once planned with the song being
performed, but Jackson collapsed during the concert's rehearsals. During the
final concerts of his HIStory World Tour, the song was played at the beginning
of each concert in memory of Princess Diana. In Living with Michael Jackson, he
mentioned the song while at Neverland Ranch and sang it while he was in Las
Vegas.
Michael Jackson's
brother, Jermaine Jackson, sang "Smile" at Michael memorial service
on July 7, 2009, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, shortly after Michael
Jackson's friend Brooke Shields mentioned it had been Jackson's favorite song.
He also sang it in an interview with Today at Neverland before the memorial and
only days after Michael had passed. During the internationally televised public
memorial, Jermaine switched the words "gladness" and
"sadness" in the lyrics, possibly in an unintentional flub of the
lyrics.
